Development Sites

Investment potential for every hi-tech enterprise

A series of prime development sites have been identified at Key Enterprise Zone Locations in Sheffield, Barnsley, Rotherham and Markham Vale. Specific sites at each of these locations each qualify for one of the Enterprise Zone financial incentives available, as well as simplified planning procedures and superfast broadband for advanced manufacturing and technology firms.

The primary development sites in the Sheffield City Region Enterprise Zone can be found at the following locations:

Advanced Manufacturing Park (M1, junction 33)

Many world-leading manufacturing firms and technology thought leaders are already located on this purpose-built site, offering huge potential for collaboration and major capital investment. Sites at this location are ‘development ready’, offering a range of options for large scale premises, ideal for advanced manufacturing, hi-tech engineering and research and development enterprises.

Tinsley Park (M1, junction 33/34)

Proposed replacement sites

Sheffield City Region has proposed “replacement” Enterprise Zone sites to compensate for potential blight caused by the High Speed 2 route which cuts through parts of the original Enterprise Zone site. Formal designation of these sites is reliant on the approval of an SCR business case by DCLG. This has not yet been completed. The proposed sites are included below:

Smithywood Business Park (M1, junction 35)

Development area of 10 hectares. A multi-use development site to the north of Sheffield. Available for bespoke design and build units ranging from 20k – 300k sq ft.

Dinnington (M1, junction 31)

Development area of 15 hectares. An excellent industrial development opportunity lying within the established Dinnington Business Park which extends over 34 hectares. Lying 2.5 miles from junction 31 of M1, the site offers easy access to South Yorkshire and North Nottinghamshire. A successful development already attracting Macalloy, Johnston Press, Assured Fire and Security and Connextion 2.
